Like chris_harrell, for me it's mostly a creative outlet. I like coming up with interesting tactics, strategies, and unusual uses for existing items and spells. I often have a dozen item or spell frameworks and ideas, but having to actually streamli…

Congratulations on completing Round 3! Whatever happens from here, you've definitely made your mark. I am not going into stat block construction or math problems (unless I was really confused or puzzled). The judges are way better at that stuff. I…

Congratulations on making it to Round 3! You've definitely entered rarefied company. I am not a judge. I am not rating you on your stat block design or spelling (unless it really needs mentioning or I'm confused) and I'm just one person reading, vo…

Congratulations on making it through Round 2. Whether you continue on to Round 3 is important, but don't overlook the achievement you've made getting to this point. I never have. First, from a standpoint of viewing your map and the difficulty a ca…

While not a judge, I will note that this contest is based on the style of past RPG Superstar competitions. Those had various changing goals (sometimes the map came in the round before the villain, sometimes vice versa. Sometimes there was a monster…

Nicely done completing Round 2. First, from the standpoint of submitting this to a cartographer for publication, I think the map is solid on its own merits. We can see important features and know what each room is intended for. Second, from an exc…

Congratulations on you completing your Round 2 submission. First, from the standpoint of providing a clear map for submission to a cartographer for publication, you've done well. Like the others, I would be lying if I said that when I first scrolle…

Nice work on making it through Round 2. First, I think this map is very well done for submitting to a cartographer, for the most part. As motteditor pointed out, the descending cliffs and elevation coloration doesn't make it easy to tell just how s…

Congratulations on making it through Round 2. First, from the standpoint of submitting this to the publishing cartographer, there are some issues, as other have pointed out. I don't like to pile on such obvious things, but like the others, you've f…

Well done on making it through Round 2. You've shown you can pull through when time is an issue. First, from the standpoint of being submitted to a professional cartographer for cleaning up, your map is very clear on locations, sizes, and objects. …

Well done on making it through Round 2. That's quite an accomplishment. First, regarding how a professional cartographer might look at your example map. I think there would need to be some clarifications. I see stairs and ladders, and I would assum…

Well done on completing your map for Round 2. First, from a cartographer's workload standpoint, your map is very finished. There's nothing much left to clean up or clarify. Not much else to say, this could have just been dropped into Dungeon Magaz…

Congratulations on making your Round 2 submission. First, from a how-much-does-the-cartographer-have-to-work/guess-what-you-intended standpoint of cleaning up your map, your map covers the bases pretty well. I don't think they'd have any problems. …
-
Good work on making it through Round 2. First, from the standpoint of how or how hard a publisher's cartographer might have to work to improve your envisioned map, it looks solid and clean and easy to understand. I doubt they'd have to alter much …

Excellent work completing Round 2. You've shown that you not only had the imagination and creativity to get noticed by the judges, but that you are able to complete a goal in a short time. First, from the standpoint of whether a cartographer can …

Congratulations on successfully completing Round 2. Presently, yours is the first map I am looking at, so I am not going to give any indication of how I am voting until I look over everyone's obviously, so I can't give any plus, minus, or on the fen…

Congratulations on your advancement to Round 2. There's a lot to like about this item; it's easy to read and easy to understand its effects. About the only comment I would have from an editor standpoint, would be making sure that GMs and players ar…

Congratulations on being selected into the top 16! There's definitely some wording issues, but the others have all mentioned that, and no sense piling on. You've clearly impressed some judges with your creativity and they want to see more of what y…

You've entered prestigious company in your fellow top 16'ers! Like Rep, I had some concerns about the ability to continually use this item on the same ship or wreck over and over. At the cost and power level, I am almost inclined to allow it to work…
-
Well done on your advancement to the top 16! Like a few others, I think the wording leaves me a little puzzled on some of the mechanical aspects of the item. For instance, the wording of how the item is passed to a pocket leaves me wondering if it'…

Well done on your advancement into Round 2 as one of the top 16. It will be fun to see what you bring to the table in the next round. Some things I would mention (which are purely personal opinions) from a strictly objective view: I would probably …

What a fun and thematic item! Congratulations on standing out from the other entries and making it to Round 2. Lots of great advice and observations from the judges. For my own observation, I found the arrangement of the abilities a bit jarring, i…

Congratulations. You've accomplished quite a feat! Some things I wanted to mention from my reading: Like Kate, I envisioned the entangling threads as extending from the tunic and effectively linking the wearer with the surrounding creatures, though …

Congratulations on advancing to Round 2. This is a very interesting and unusual item and can be a lot of fun for certain groups. I have a few observations I wanted to share, this being constructive criticism: Like the judges mentioned, it can be har…

An interesting and different item. Well done on making your way into the top 16. Personally, I might have liked a bit more detail on what the tattoo might resemble. A reader might envision that it somewhat looks like the embedded creature, but the…

Congratulations on being selected for the Top 16. The only thing I might add that wasn't touched on by the judges from my own point of view, would be the wording at the start of the second paragraph: 'The wearer of a Statesman’s Top Hat appears to s…
